अय्यूब 9
Then Job answered and said,
2 २ “मैं निश्चय जानता हूँ कि बात ऐसी ही है; परन्तु मनुष्य परमेश्वर की दृष्टि में कैसे धर्मी ठहर सकता है?
“I truly know that this is so. But how can a person be in the right with God?
If he wants to argue with God, he cannot answer him once in a thousand times.
God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has ever hardened himself against him and succeeded?—
5 ५ वह तो पर्वतों को अचानक हटा देता है और उन्हें पता भी नहीं लगता, वह क्रोध में आकर उन्हें उलट-पुलट कर देता है।
he who removes the mountains without warning anyone when he overturns them in his anger—
he who shakes the earth out of its place and sets its supports trembling.
It is the same God who tells the sun not to rise, and it does not, and who covers up the stars,
who by himself stretches out the heavens and tramples down the waves of the sea,
who makes the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the south.
10 १० वह तो ऐसे बड़े कर्म करता है, जिनकी थाह नहीं लगती; और इतने आश्चर्यकर्म करता है, जो गिने नहीं जा सकते।
He does great and unsearchable things, and wonderful things that cannot be counted.
11 ११ देखो, वह मेरे सामने से होकर तो चलता है परन्तु मुझ को नहीं दिखाई पड़ता; और आगे को बढ़ जाता है, परन्तु मुझे सूझ ही नहीं पड़ता है।
See, he goes by me, and I do not see him; he passes on also, but I do not perceive him.
If he takes something away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, 'What are you doing?'
God will not withdraw his anger; the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
How much less could I answer him, could I choose words to reason with him?
15 १५ चाहे मैं निर्दोष भी होता परन्तु उसको उत्तर न दे सकता; मैं अपने मुद्दई से गिड़गिड़ाकर विनती करता।
Even if I were righteous, I could not answer him; I could only plead for mercy with my judge.
16 १६ चाहे मेरे पुकारने से वह उत्तर भी देता, तो भी मैं इस बात पर विश्वास न करता, कि वह मेरी बात सुनता है।
Even if I called and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
For he breaks me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause.
He does not allow me to regain my breath; but he fills me with bitterness.
19 १९ यदि सामर्थ्य की चर्चा हो, तो देखो, वह बलवान है और यदि न्याय की चर्चा हो, तो वह कहेगा मुझसे कौन मुकद्दमा लड़ेगा?
If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20 २० चाहे मैं निर्दोष ही क्यों न हूँ, परन्तु अपने ही मुँह से दोषी ठहरूँगा; खरा होने पर भी वह मुझे कुटिल ठहराएगा।
Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; and though I am blameless, my words would prove me to be guilty.
I am blameless, but I do not care any more about myself; I despise my own life.
It makes no difference, which is why I say that he destroys blameless people and wicked people together.
When a whip suddenly kills, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 २४ देश दुष्टों के हाथ में दिया गया है। परमेश्वर उसके न्यायियों की आँखों को मूँद देता है; इसका करनेवाला वही न हो तो कौन है?
The earth is given into the hand of wicked people; God covers the faces of its judges. If it is not he who does it, then who is it?
25 २५ “मेरे दिन हरकारे से भी अधिक वेग से चले जाते हैं; वे भागे जाते हैं और उनको कल्याण कुछ भी दिखाई नहीं देता।
My days are swifter than a running messenger; my days flee away; they see no good anywhere.
They are as fast as papyrus reed boats, and as fast as the eagle that swoops down on its victim.
If I said that I would forget about my complaints, that I would take off my sad face and be happy,
I would be afraid of all my sorrows because I know that you will not consider me innocent.
I will be condemned; why, then, should I try in vain?
If I washed myself with snow water and made my hands ever so clean,
God would plunge me in a ditch, and my own clothes would be disgusted with me.
32 ३२ क्योंकि परमेश्वर मेरे तुल्य मनुष्य नहीं है कि मैं उससे वाद-विवाद कर सकूँ, और हम दोनों एक दूसरे से मुकद्दमा लड़ सके।
For God is not a man, as I am, that I could answer him, that we could come together in court.
There is no judge between us who might lay his hand upon us both.
There is no other judge who could take God's rod off me, who could keep his terror from frightening me.
Then would I speak up and not fear him. But as things are now, I cannot do that.
